:nono: It's receiving an answer that would compromise confidences, not expecting one. And you're in charge of the petty cash tin? :rolleyes:
 

New Manager Poll

We are hearing about the long list of applicants, but I hope that we might be ambitious enough to approach individuals (maybe, but not necessarily, currently employed elsewhere) who have not applied, if we believe they would be the best for the job if we can get them.

The KPI's are for the permanent appointment. The short term 'fix' is another thing entirely and would be addressed as such in the event of your 'disaster' scenario.

Roberto di Matteo. Skilful player with a bucketload of caps for a proper international side. Great managerial record:

2008/09 MK Dons 3rd League 1 87 pts
2009/10 West Brom 2nd Championship 91 pts
2010/11 West Brom still in with a chance in the Premier League

Plays attractive football. Seems like a bright, decent bloke. Hope he gets/puts himself on the short list.

It is clear from the poll and comments on this thread that no single candidate stands out and has the full backing of all Brentford fans. We have even had the ludicrous claims that 'if he gets the the job, I won't be going to GP again'. Pathetic and shameful. Whoever gets the gig, all for one and one for all. We are all Brentford fans and when the successfull candidate is announced, we ALL stand behind him and march this great club of ours forwards.

but that isn't the brentford way this century. most didn't want scott. most tolerated him when we won the league. most were delighted he was fired.

much the same applies to MA but to a lesser extent as he did win the pr battle and had masses of charisma. but many didn't like him, his brand of football, or what he stood for. or who he stood for: ma!

In Sunday's League paper he directly stated he was focusing on his ProFC project and the staff involved.
He was not interested in returning to football management at this time, or commenting on any vacant jobs.

It's also well known that key staff at BFC will not be happy if MA returns.
However, I am sure this is just a rumour.

Anyone looking to put money on Allen returning as manager this season, should place their wager with me, and I will guarentee them half their money back. :sorted:

Would be great if di Matteo wanted to come to Brentford. He plays the sort of football we like. Mind you, sure he'd get a Championship Club at least. I guess if he loved being in London then we'd have a shout :shrug:

You may be right-Dont think anyone knows the real reasons he left however.

All I'm saying is that its worth asking the question to see what his status is and where hes at. This is a crucial appointment so the process has to be as comprehensive as possible.

Funny that, just goes to show it aint a fans run club. So if the board don't want him then thats good enough is it? In response to Ruislip red, yes i made the remarks abot not coming again. Pathetiic or not, its up to me what I spend my money on. it's a fair bit cheaper traveling from the outskirts, and as I said before it's a messageboard and most of the waffel on here is a load of old bollox.

I would never eat one of your burgers, less meat in them than a Linda McCartney special.

I arrived, I was greeted by abee, I spoke to Ose, John Herting, David Heath, Mark Chapman, King Bee, Ray Wilkins, the Plymouth Chairman, Johnnie Gee and a few others and then the game began.
An easy win later and a few chats before rushing off to get back to Northampton, I had to decline an offer of attending the press conference and it seems that Natalie Sawyer took my place on the arm of abee.
Mr Benham was going to the game but pulled out when he heard that some idiot was turning up, I looked around but couldn't work out who the idiot was.
Only sold 1 book, a nice day and a lot different to my normal matchday experience, great view of the 2nd goal and wanted to do a salmon from my seat to celebrate it but was right next to the Plymouth contingent who are going bust and felt that would be rubbing it in.
I was there as abee's bodyguard just in case you bods demoed after the game, I did laugh at the thought of AS still being in charge, a demo kicks off and out of the boardroom I walk.....

Nervous! I was once very nervous at Newport away, nervous when my mum found some cancer sticks in my bedroom and very nervous when Kettering Bee got into my bed on holiday by mistake. I don't recall being nervous on Saturday.

"I would never eat one of your burgers, less meat in them than a Linda McCartney special."

Just to say my wife accompany's me to home games from the South Coast just to get one of your burgers!

And I have a really good feeling about Forster for manager - similar sort of thing to Howe at Bournemouth who I think everyone felt did a thoroughly good job. Forster clearly has the respect of the players and has the experience and knowledge to organise and react to the opposition(which was evident from his substitute appearances).
 

New Manager Poll

The reason given at the time for Steve Coppells departure from Bristol City was that the chairman was spending virtually all of the transfer budget on David James and he thought it would have been better spent elsewhere. No idea if theres any truth in that but thats what i read in the paper. I would like SC back with Nicky Forster as No2.

Like this except perhaps Coppell as some kind of Director of Football and Forster as manager. That would be nice. Put the two together for a while and when Coppell decides that he wants to move on, hopefully Forster would have learnt enough to take on a wider role.

Hmm

I doubt whether David would of left Watford to be with us for a couple of matches ? A stab in the dark but I guess hes taken a flyer hoping that him and Fozzy get the jobs perm . Where would Nicky of known him from ?

..........................my thoughts as well, regarding Mr Warburton leaving Watford - hopefully he will have come here knowing that he has guaranteed employment, whoever is appointed as manager - much as I like NF, I don't think that he is lieky to be able to meet the criteria that the board is piecing together.....................

...........................the appointment is so crucial that we cannot afford to let Coppell have the job as manager, only for him to change his mind (for whatever reasons) not long afterwards - we deserve and need better than that - it would have to be a real committment on SC's behalf IMHO - if he's so minded, however, I wouldn't mind him here as a Director of Football-type role, with NF assuming team duties and learning his trade that way - perhaps AS would have benefitted from a similar arrangement??..............................

I you listened to AM's interview, he didn't say that "a former Brentford boss" had contacted him. He said that he and abee had received texts that "included the names of people who have previously had the job"; that is a very different thing.

The bloke is a villan, he had Gus Poyet behind him most of the time he's been in football management, which is why he has a half decent record

PLEASE PLEASE NOT WISE

With mine and countless others no doubt

I think we need to take a chill pill on this I really can't see the board sanctioning Wise's appointment as it would just go against the grain for what BFC stand for in the community etc etc
